Description: They say do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. But c’mon. Is that possible in this day and age? On today’s show, we speak to a tech investor who tells us the ingredients he believes are needed to make passion pay. And we hear from an economist who’s run the numbers on luck. 

Bill Gurley’s book is Runnin’ Down a Dream: How to Thrive in a Career You Actually Love.
